9. BAR & CHAIN MAINTENANCE
Saw chain
It is very important for smooth and safe operation to
keep the chain sharp at all times.
Your cutters need to be sharpened when:
• Sawdust becomes powder-like.
• You need extra force to saw.
• The cut does not go straight.
• Vibration increases.
• Fuel consumption increases.
Cutter setting standards:
Be sure to wear safety gloves.
Before ling:
• Make sure the saw chain is held securely.
• Make sure the engine is stopped.
• Use a round le of proper size for your chain.
Chain type:
Oregon
Place your le on the cutter and push straight forward.
Keep the le position as illustrated.
After every cutter has been set, check the depth gauge and le it to
the proper level as illustrated.
Be sure to round off the front edge to reduce the chance of kickback
or tie-strap breakage.
